Highlights: PDF reader for researchers with universal purchase

Highlights

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Apple implemented the universal shopping in the last updates of their operating systems and it seems that this idea has been well received by the developers, since some applications have quickly jumped on the bandwagon.

Highlights is one of them. This PDF editor has been working with great success on Macs for years. Now it has just been launched also for iPhone and iPad, and the developer wanted to combine them in universal purchase. With a single payment you have it on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Highlights is a powerful PDF reader focused on students and researchers. The application includes a number of very useful graphing and comment annotation tools. One of the most interesting features is the extraction of data in text tables from images embedded in the PDF.

With the new version for iPad, take advantage of all the possibilities offered by the Apple Pencil to annotate and mark the PDF. We also now have the option of dark mode across the board.

With the new update, you can now score faster, with dynamic pop-up windows to include your comments. These notes can be extracted, sorted and color coded.

You can extract text data from an embedded image, even tables automatically and export them in CSV. You can also export your notes as Markdown, HTML, TextBundle or PDF files. Or directly to your favorite applications like Ulysses, Evernote, Bear, DEVONThink, Keep It and Apple Notes.

It is available in the App Store both Mac, iPhone and iPad for free without advertising but with some limited features. You also have the full Highlights Pro app with a subscription for all three platforms (macOS, iPhone and iPad) for € 3,49 per month or € 27,49 per year.
